Frequently Asked Questions

Sugaring is an ancient hair removal technique using a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. Unlike wax, sugar paste only adheres to dead skin cells and hair, not live skin, making it gentler and less painful. It's also applied at room temperature, eliminating burn risk, and removes hair in the natural direction of growth for better results.

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about 2-3 weeks of growth). Avoid exfoliating, sun exposure, or using retinoid products 24-48 hours before your appointment. Come clean and avoid lotions or oils on the treatment area. If you're concerned about discomfort, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment.

Your first appointment may take 30-45 minutes as we discuss your comfort level and preferences. You'll undress from the waist down and our esthetician will guide you through positioning. The process involves applying sugar paste and removing it in small sections. Most clients find it less painful than expected, especially compared to waxing. We maintain your privacy and comfort throughout the entire service.

Results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. For best results, we recommend booking your next appointment 4-6 weeks after your first visit. Regular sugaring actually trains your hair to grow back finer and sparser over time, so maintenance becomes easier and less frequent.

For 24 hours after your appointment, avoid hot baths, saunas, tight clothing, excessive sweating, and sun exposure. After 24 hours, gently exfoliate 2-3 times per week to prevent ingrown hairs. Moisturize daily with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. Avoid shaving between appointments to maintain the hair growth cycle.

Yes! Sugaring is ideal for sensitive skin because the paste only adheres to dead skin cells and hair, not live skin. The all-natural ingredients (sugar, lemon, water) are hypoallergenic and suitable for most skin types. However, if you have specific skin conditions or concerns, please discuss them with us during your consultation.

All appointments are conducted with the same level of professionalism and discretion as our women's services.

Sugaring is generally safe during pregnancy as it uses all-natural ingredients and doesn't involve chemicals. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider first, especially for intimate areas. Many pregnant clients find sugaring more comfortable than shaving during pregnancy. Please inform us if you're pregnant when booking.

Sugaring is significantly less painful than waxing, but here are tips to minimize discomfort: avoid caffeine before your appointment, take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes prior, schedule appointments for after your menstrual cycle when skin is less sensitive, and communicate with your esthetician about your comfort level.
